* ESD grade carpet tile is not recommended for use in FAA flight areas, data centers, 911 dispatch areas, or communication rooms because it is too conductive. ESD grade carpet tile can measure as low as 2.5 X 10 E4. ESD grade carpet tile with conductive recycled backing does not meet the minimum resistance limits of FAA STD 019e, IEEE 1100-2005, Motorola R56 or ATIS-0600321-2010. Before specifying ESD grade carpet tile in these applications Staticworx recommends reviewing the appropriate grounding standards with a technical resource.

** Static Dissipative Epoxy does not meet the kV rating limits of ANSI/ESD S20.20 in all the applications shown above.

*** Eclipse EC Rubber is the only ESD flooring certified as Class-0 Qualified.
